By Brandy, Contributing Writer I needed to come up with a new granola bar recipe that was both wheat-free AND rice free since my son is allergic to both. And since I usually make my favorite granola bars with crispy brown rice cereal, I wondered what I could use that would be remotely close. On the cereal aisle, I explored my options. The choices were slim, but one bag of cereal that I'd never tried before caught my eye. Puffed millet. I decided to give [...]
By Kate, Contributing Writer Thanksgiving's coming--really, really soon! And after Thanksgiving we have an onslaught of holiday festivities that will last until we begin 2013. What we find at these festivities, in whatever form they take is...food. Lots and lots of food. I imagine the average person who eats a Standard American Diet can expect to gain 5 to 10 pounds during this time of year. Those who eat a traditional diet, especially those who are new to eating real food, may find this time [...]

By Mindy, Contributing Writer I never was a big fan of pumpkin pie during my childhood years. Every year at Thanksgiving, I would choose cherry or apple pie over the classic pumpkin pie. I never understood why it was such a big deal around the holidays! Until... I had my first pumpkin pie made out of fresh pumpkin. Wow! What a difference it made in the taste and texture of the pie! I finally had an appreciation for this time-honored dessert that I had never [...]
I'm rereading Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts and I am reminded of how true this is. Gratitude really does change everything, most of all our hearts and our attitudes, regardless of our circumstances. I know that you will all be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow with your sweet families and friends. Blessings on your day and your celebration! As always, I continue to be so thankful for all of YOU! This site would be nothing without you (talking to myself doesn't sound all that appealing). I am continually honored [...]

I had far too much fun putting together this selection of tasty-looking real food holiday recipes, frugal and nature-inspired decor ideas, and gratitude printables and activities for you. This is only a small [...]
